Photography Weekends in Britain is the first photography-location guidebook to cover England, Wales and Scotland in a single title – and the first to package photogenic destinations into practical short breaks. This unique guidebook, by an award-winning travel writer and photographer, celebrates the beauty and diversity of Britain’s landscapes, cities and wildlife, while providing inspiration and essential planning tips for photographers. Britain’s diverse landscapes are a magnet to photographers. For a relatively small area, the country offers everything from wave-gnawed rocky shores to moss-shrouded forest. The seasons provide added interest, whether you’re focusing on spring carpets of bluebells in the Cotswolds, summer-nesting puffins in Pembrokeshire or snow-flecked mountains in the Lake District. This all presents a wealth of photographic potential. But where are the best places to go for a photography break in Britain – and when? And how do you plan everything you need to consider for both photography and travel? Travelling throughout Britain, award-winning travel writer and photographer William Gray has compiled photography action plans for 25 short breaks. From the Scottish Highlands to westernmost Cornwall, the photography-workshop tutor reveals where to go to capture breathtaking landscapes, wildlife spectacles and iconic city scenes. Based around an imaginative itinerary, each three-day proposal combines essential travel information with fabulous images and details of photography locations – including when to go and how to capture the ‘perfect shot’. The deftly curated selection of 130 of the best places for landscape photography includes many of the most popularly hashtagged locations in Britain. All 15 British national parks are covered alongside historical landmarks such as Northumberland’s castles and photogenic cities including Bath, London, York and Edinburgh. Bradt’s Photography Weekends in Britain will delight any visitor who is open to the idea of travelling anywhere in Britain, but wants to be guided to the best areas for photography. If you want to plan a few days photographing some of the country’s finest landscape, city and wildlife locations, this is the perfect guide.
